💙 Hello and Happy Friday! 💙

*Well, it's raining cats and dogs right now, and it may just hail a bit too. Can't complain too much, at least it's doesn't snow. 😁

I just wanted to say thank you to all that follow me here and elsewhere 😉, you know I appreciate it ❤️ Gonna be a bit busy over the next week, so in case I'm too early or too late, want to wish all of you a wonderful and prosperous New Year! 🥂

❤️ Happy Friday! ❤️

Well here we are, first Friday and heading into the first weekend of the year, yay! Christmas was fun, hosted a campout in the desert, and even grilled a duck! 🦆

It's been years since I cooked one, and back when I did, used an oven, so was unsure exactly how to cook one on the grill. Turns out, all you need to do is treat it like a turkey, it's really a no brainer.

The duck turned out so good, I'm gonna start grilling up more duck and experimenting more with spices and techniques. Next time I'll take a picture and post it 😉

Watched a really good series on Netflix called "Captains of the World". It's a nice recap of the 2022 World Cup, and worth checking out! ⚽

So far the weather has been cold, slightly windy but sunny. Had some light rains, but nothing too bad. But I gotta admit, looking forward to the warmer temps in the spring.

🦃🌽 Happy Thanksgiving! 🌽🦃

Yes, this post is a little early, but I'm sure most of you are traveling or getting ready to go be with friends and family, so hopefully it's all smooth sailing.

Temps are really taking a dive at night and in the morning, but daytime temps are perfect. It's like being in San Diego minus the price tag! 😆

💃💜 Hey, Friday Is Finally Here! 💜💃

Another week down, yay! Like my post from yesterday, been doing more practice and really getting into the groove. As they say, practice makes perfect! 🎶

So this is supposedly the last hot weekend then it's gonna be a bit cooler starting Monday. Been saying that for a few weeks, but this time it looks like the real deal, looking forward to it! 🍂

The other day finished watching the series F Is for Family by Bill Burr. I was rolling 🤣 If your old school you'll love it, so many things to relate too.

💃🎃 Bellydance Practice and Halloween Ideas 🎃💃

Hello everybody! Still kinda debating what I’m gonna dress up for Halloween, but at the moment I’m leaning towards a desert gypsy or fortune teller with a tip jar, lol! Or, should I think outside the box? Any thoughts? 🎭

Today was a hot one, 100F, and it’s gonna be that way through the weekend. Kinda late in the season for this, but it looks like by Monday temps will be in the high 80s and lows in the 60s.

So, this just occurred to me…Oktoberfest has since passed, but is there an equivalent festival for wine lovers? If there is, let me know, would love to hear about it. 🍷🍇

Today I had a solid day of bellydance practice, and it felt really good! My goal for next year is to enter a competition, so I need all the practice I can get. Really focused on the basics, because they are the fundamentals to the art of the dance.

🌻 Bom Dia Meus Amigos!🌻
